Booked vs. Caliari
Judice will take on Nicolle Caliari in a flyweight bout at UFC 318 on July 19, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Judice is coming off her first career UFC win, taking care of Yuneisy Duben in a first-round victory back in March. That evened her record to 1-1 in the promotion, and her next opponent will be looking to do what Judice just did -- win her first UFC bout. Caliari lost her debut with the promotion but hadn't lost a bout since 2019 until that point. This should be an entertaining bout between relative newcomers.

Finally earns first UFC win
Judice defeated Yuneisy Duben via TKO (strikes) at 1:40 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Almost certainly fighting for her job after suffering back-to-back defeats to Gabriella Fernandes and Ernesta Kareckaite in her first two UFC bouts, Judice rebounded in a big way here as a -300 favorite. She was able to crack Duben with a head kick which led to the immediate stoppage and would go on to earn her a $50,000 Performance of the Night bonus. Still just 26 years of age, it's reasonable to expect Judice to make improvements on a fight-by-fight basis, although there would appear to be an excellent chance this will represent her high-water mark with the company. Either way, her roster spot should be secure with the victory.

Needs new opponent
Judice will no longer take on Juliana Miller in a lightweight bout at UFC Vegas 102, Nolan King of USA Today reports.

Miller is out of the fight due to an undisclosed injury, meaning that Judice will need to find a new opponent on relatively short notice, although there are still several months until the bout is scheduled. The UFC is reportedly looking for a replacement, but one hasn't been found quite yet. Judice is coming off a loss in her first ever UFC bout at the hands of Gabriella Fernandes back in June.

Hangs tough in debut loss
Judice lost to Gabriella Fernandes via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
It is exceedingly rare the UFC will send a fighter with four professional fights under their belt out there unless it is some extraordinary circumstance. They made an exception with Judice, and she rewarded their faith, putting on a good show and hanging tough in the process. She absorbed too many hard punches from Fernandes to earn the decision, but her cardio more than held up and her striking looked competent. The back-and-forth affair would go on to earn both women a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus. Still just 25 years of age, Judice has some long-term potential considering what she showed tonight and her overall inexperience level.
